Maple Syrup and Screen Doors

Maple syrup stirred into tinkling ice tea when my only thought had been sugar water.

Suites miss the slam of a screen door
but the quiet whoosh of the patio door
brings the past into today.

Spinning out and weaving
ideas, speculations and perceptions
respecting family history past and present brings sweet nuances into my home that remain after family guests turn towards their home.

“Build your home in small moments of joy, 

and you will always feel at home.”
